Sooo... Man this is an old account name. I havn't played Qurillanea (my old ranger main) in a hot minute.

Most of you know me as JAMJUM

I'll dispense with the rest of the formalities until after your standard format, probably slightly modified... commencing now.

LlizBeastlordIksarLevel: 80+AA: 504+Premium Magelo #1753286

-List which keys and flags you have:I'm honestly not sure exactly what Lliz is keyed for 100%, i know he can go to Vex Thal !For current content he has some SoF and the previous expansion raids done, I did a bunch of faction work to start opening up raids in frostkeep (dont think I had finished though) as a requester.

-List your alts on this server (name, level, class):Theres a smattering of alts on the account, the account hasn't been reactivated yet so I cant provide details. I will edit them in later if desired, but they are all trivial alts (under 60).

A Little Bit About MEEEEEEE

Ok well to start, way back in 2000 or so, my best friend and greatest bromance of all time, Jumjam, found a curious little PC game. He showed it to me one day while I was schmoozing at his house eating his food and drink. It was a funny game. Lots of big bulky buttons and a tiny little hole in the middle to see.. and they called it Everquest heheh.

I started out FIRST with a ranger named Qurilan on HIS account and tried it out. I later got my own account and Lyrall the bard was born on the Vazaelle server (WOOT oldschoolers). I joined a ragtag team of adventurers and knightly fellows who had banded together in an effort to protect the beatiful Fen (deesha) from the evil kobolds of the Warrens. Eventually as these things often happen the guild grew smaller and smaller and dispersed, but not before I charmed and bribed my way into the another guild which name eludes me at the moment (also long since gone.. anybody remember the enchanter Enchy Lada? He was in it. ) Finally after a time I joined with TF who had been allies with the Royal Defenders of Fen since the start and I stayed there a very long time, I left at one point to try a more hardcore raid schedule with i think sequel maybe? Wasn't for me and I quickly returned. That was during the POP era. By that time I had made a new character, a play on my original ranger, this time a fem woodelf named Qurillanea. Who I still have but no longer play.

Eventually the artist formerly known as Daioe had SRRS (sexual/racial reassignment surgery) and became the gnome warrior we know and love today as JUMJAM. I later made a cleric named JAMJUM just to confuse everybody, as we often did with various toons. Also a gnome of course. In blue. And bald! Later I switched the ranger for a necro (oh yeah Jamjum was made on a second account).

I befriended a cool beastlord and played together all the time, then his mother (he was younger.. hey that rhymes.. than me. Teens) stopped paying for the game and he bestowed his account.. and Lliz, upon me, and I have played him ever since in a 3 box.

I can no longer afford to 3 box. I will just be one, for a time at least. Accounts have been down for a while but.. Jumjam has convinced me it may just be a good time to come back. And he bribed me, which always helps. I cant help it. It probably also has something to do with CN having open applications. Not too long before I had to shut my accounts down I left Tribal Fury. I love the guild to death but its changed so so much over the years and with some very drastic changes that have happened in leadership over the last few years its just not the same guild. It doesn't have the.. the 'feel' that it used to have. So I moved on and I'm just in a portal guild I made myself.

And thats that, history wise.

EQ as a game has always been like a good friend that has no life - its always there for me if I'm bored and dont want to go out, or had a bad day and just need to release the steam by beating up the bad guys. Doing tough content with a good group of people is always a treat, as is seeing exactly how hard I can push myself solo or boxing. Raids are rarely terrible, though some are better than others. I really like the more in depth raids over simple spank and tanks, at least as far as actual skill based fun is concerned. Its always a sight to behold when you have some 40 or 50 people working in tandem to perform a complex task and overcoming the obstacle together.

I play EQ whenever I can, no set schedule. I am currently PST timezone out here in California. As for Tues/Wed/Sat schedule i'm almost always working fri-sun but not always. My schedule changes. If there is a raid going on and I can attend, I will. That is my promise. I just cant promise specific days. If I had to estimate a % i could keep I could probably guarantee at least 33.3%.. I should always be able to make at least ONE day. And thats on time. I can probably make others if there are slots open later in the evening after work.

Your Experience with CN..I've both raided and grouped with the Navigators on many occasions. I know a smattering of you and a gaggle of you know me too. Jumjam of COURSE, Goofydoofy (heyas), and jummer also told me apparently Ammota is Vegga.. from back in the day of RDoF. Boy did that blow my mind. I thought everybody else had quit for good . There are others of course but it has been a while and the names aren't coming straight to mind. Feel free to pop your head in and say howdy though in a post so I can smack myself and say "how did I forget that person!".

-Why are you applying to CN? Is there a specific reason you chose to apply to our guild?Aside from my friends and aquaintences here, and the Navigators superb reputation, there is only one REAL reason I want to be here; CN is the only guild I know of that has beaten the Chuck Norris encounter, which automatically makes you the best.

-Tell us what your goals are for applying. What do you hope to get out of the guild?My goals for applying are simple : I want IN. My hopes are that I GET in and that WE have a lot of fun together. Very simple, straightforward. Nothing more or less.

-Have you read the CN Rules and Policies and understand them?---Aye, I've read them a few times in my day. I competely understand and respect them.

Optional Info

-What do you do in real life?--- I'm a formerly Active Duty Marine Corps network engineer that currently works at Pizza hut.. /facepalm

-Where are you from?--- Goofy's moms apartment. Its located in Massachusetts

-Would you consider traveling to attend annual CN gatherings at various places in North America?--- I've NEVER been able to attend any of my previous guilds gatherings and something like that would be a high priority. I love to travel.

-What is your favourite colour? (with Canadian spelling)---I was going to say black, but then I thought "What aboot pink?"

-Lliz / Jamjum

I think thats just a roumer, as such.. If Chuck Norris encounter had been beaton by anyone in EQ, the servers woudl have melted down, and the game would no longer exist.. Its a nice fantasey, however improbable that it will ever happen, unless Canada delcares war on mexico and the SoE servers get caught in the middle of WW2.1
